The U.S. national team hadn't played in Kansas City in a decade before Tuesday's Gold Cup group stage victory over Guadeloupe. The next match could be coming much sooner, especially if members of the national team get their wish.

Livestrong Sporting Park, the brand new home of the MLS' Sporting Kansas City, drew rave reviews from players after their 1-0 win clinched the Americans second place in Group C and a berth in the knockout stage, where they'll face Jamaica in the quarterfinals Sunday.

“I was saying in the locker room that tonight you saw a really pro-American crowd,” midfielder Sacha Kljestan told The Kansas City Star. “That’s the most American flags I’ve seen in a stadium, so I hope we’ll have more games here. Maybe it will become the new national stadium.”

“It’s a really nice venue, probably one of the top in the States for soccer stadiums,” Kljestan added.

Clint Dempsey, who has become a star in the English Premier League, raved about the international feel.

“The game here in Kansas City is going to grow and I think the future here is looking bright for Sporting Kansas City,” Dempsey told The Star. “It had a European atmosphere with the bench seats into the stands. It makes the fans feel closer and the fans feel closer to things.”
